On Saturday, October 17, 2026, at 2:30 p.m., the collective Refuser la misère—which includes the LDH (Ligue des droits de l'Homme / droits humains)—will organize a demonstration at the Place du Trocadéro in Paris (also known as the Parvis des Droits de l'Homme) and across France. The event is part of a collective editorial signed by Nathalie Tehio, president of the LDH. The editorial raises concerns about the growing inequalities in France, which have become more apparent during a period of extreme heat in mid-June 2026. It also highlights the rise in global conflicts and forced displacements, emphasizing that human rights, the habitability of the planet, and the conditions for peace are under threat. The most affected are those living in poverty, the displaced, and communities facing social, environmental, and political crises. The editorial argues that peace is not only about opposing war, but also about ensuring that everyone can live with dignity in a world that is livable and sustainable. This includes access to adequate housing, nutritious food, decent jobs, quality public services, reliable transportation, good schools, and a health system that serves all. It calls for an economic system that respects both people and the environment. The editorial also notes that as France approaches the twentieth anniversary of the DALO law—intended to ensure the right to housing—this right remains unfulfilled for many. The demonstration is backed by 26 organizations, including Jérôme Villette, president of ACE (Action catholique des enfants); Christine Mariotte, president of AGSAS (Association des groupes de soutien au soutien); Pascale Ribes, president of APF France handicap; Jean-Baptiste de Chatillon, general director of Apprentis d'Auteuil; Christian Wodli, president of the Archipel des Sans-Voix; Olivier Morzelle, president of ATD Quart Monde; Jacques Fertil, president of CCSC (Comité chrétien solidarité chômeurs); Marylise Léon, general secretary of CFDT; Sophie Binet, general secretary of CGT; Didier Minot and Jean-Claude Boual, co-presidents of the Collectif Changer de Cap; Karin Flick and Laurent Misandeau, co-presidents of Chrétiens dans le monde rural (CMR); Bruno Morel, president of Emmaüs France; Pascal Brice, president of the Federation of Solidarity Actors (FAS); Charlotte Schneider, general director of Greenpeace France; the collegial animation committee of ICEM-pédagogie Freinet; Valérie Fayard, president and Prisca Berroche, general delegate of La Cloche; Nathalie Tehio, president of the LDH; Gaëtan de Royer, founder of Les oubliés de la République; Pierre-Edouard Magnan, president of the National Movement of the Unemployed and Precarious; Alain Refalo, spokesperson for the Movement for a Non-Violent Alternative; Cécile Duflot, general director of Oxfam France; Anne Géneau, president of the Little Brothers of the Poor; Didier Duriez, president of Secours Catholique-Caritas; Laurent Grandguillaume, president of TZCLD (Territory Zero Long-Term Unemployed); Michel Joncquel, Administrator of the collegial of the UNAPP (National Union of Proximity Sponsorship Actors); and Daniel Golberg, president of the Uniopss (National Interfederal Union of Private Non-Profit Health and Social Services Organizations and Bodies).
